FAQ
How are calories from steps estimated?
We combine your step count, body weight, and a pace-based intensity factor to estimate burn, since heavier bodies and brisker walking use more energy per step.
How many calories does 10,000 steps burn?
For many adults it is very roughly 300–500 kcal, depending heavily on weight and pace — brisk walking at higher body weight sits at the top of that range.
How is distance estimated from steps?
The tool multiplies steps by an average stride length to approximate distance, so the figure is a close estimate rather than a GPS-measured value.
Does the Steps to Calories Calculator send my data to a server?
